BARN door open for local charities to meet fund holders in Redditch

Redditch Editorial 20th Feb, 2017   0

BROMSGROVE and Redditch Network (BARN) has teamed up with Redditch Borough Council and Bromsgrove District Council to mount an event to try and help struggling local charities meet funders and develop projects to help their communities.

The Funding Fair for the voluntary and community sector is on Wednesday March 8 in Redditch Town Hall from 10am to 3pm.

A huge range of funders will be there, keen to meet local charities and community groups to help them put bids together.

These will include national funders like the Big Lottery, Heritage Lottery Fund and Children In Need, but also a whole range of local or smaller ones such as Worcestershire county council, Redditch borough council, Bromsgrove district council, the County Sports Partnership, Worcestershire Community Foundation, Elmley Small Arts Grants, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Charitable Trust West Midlands, Asda, Tesco Bags Of Help and Find It In Worcestershire.




Alison Schofield of Age UK Bromsgrove, Redditch and Wyre Forest , said: “It’s harder than ever for charities and community groups to raise funds for activities that are vital to their local communities.

“They need all the support they can get. This event will let people speak face to face with a variety of funders and also attend workshops giving tips on how to write successful applications. If you are a voluntary or community group working in Redditch and Bromsgrove then this is the event for you.”


Entry is free and open to all voluntary and community groups but places are limited. Booking is essential, especially for the workshops run by some of the funders.
